I came across Revlon Sparkle Aplenty at Walgreens or CVS recently and it was quietly sitting all by itself and seemed like it needed a comfy, warm home. So even though I’m not a huge fan of glittery nail polish, it’s Christmas and all, so I should be charitable. 😉

I think this is part of a limited edition collection but not 100% sure.

Sparkle Aplenty

Sparkle Aplenty has a black base and features micro silver glitter, and small silver and black hex glitter. Hmmm. Not really a fan to be honest. The black base is a little thin and watery at first, but does get pretty opaque after two coats. The problem is that there is so much glitter in here it has that super chunky texture and look. You do get a lot of glitter with each swipe, so that is good. You don’t have to fish the larger pieces out. But with two coats you get a lot of glitter lying on top of other pieces. So unless you have a butt boat-load of patience to place it, it will look a bit messy.

This polish really just needs a semi-opaque black basecoat to start and then a smoothing top coat over top to morph from icky lumps to really pretty. I usually layer it over Zoya Raven and top with Seche Vite for a smooth, sparkly finish. It’s a great party polish.

I’m not really a fan of this either, so I can understand you when you say it looks messy. Which is, btw, a problem I have with a lot of indie glitters too!Caroline @Good Lack, Nail!´s last post…How I wore it: Sephora My favourite Jeans

I found this a while ago when it came out and was so excited. Alas, I agree with you – not a fan. At all. 🙁 I got Sparkle Aplenty home and immediately swatched it/started a mani which I quickly decided to remove before I was even finished. It was just so bad. Between the lumpy chunky formula to the inability to visibly see any of the black glitter to the black base being overbearing and dull…I’d go so far as to call it fug. And I’m a glitter polish girl! *le sigh* Such a shame! Thankfully Revlon has recently created Girly and Heavenly, both beautiful glitter polishes that I know I’ll love for sure!
